With World Cup fever spreading throughout Rams Park, we caught up with soccer aficionados Chris Long, Greg Zuerlein and Johnny Hekker to get their predictions.

We posed a simple question to Greg: out of the Rams current roster, which 11 players would make up the best soccer lineup?

“I wanted to get a really fast guy and a tall guy up top for headers,” Zuerlein said. “I’ve got big, fast outside midfielders who can be physical, get into the box and help finish. They’re going to run a lot. In the middle, I have people who can control the ball and then keep the bullies in the back. Robert Quinn should be able to move well in goal.”
